Abstract

A distributed processing system comprises hardware, e.g. computers (1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9) and networks (8, 10), supporting a user client application, server applications capable of exposing user application interfaces to the user client application, and a management client application. The server applications are capable of exposing a common management interface to the management client application. Thus, the system can be managed at a lower level than is possible with prior art approaches.
